Our Clients Say About Us:

SIT finally gave Grupo Bolivar the answer that we had looked for on how to deal with innovation. We knew we had to innovate but we didn’t have a method to do. SIT gave us the methodology to achieve it. Currently using the tools, principles, structure, and the SIT Ripple we have achieved excellent results. ”

SIT gave us a systematic way for the first time to come up with new product concepts on demand. Before SIT, we were too passive about innovation relying on happenstance or following our competitors for new ideas. In our first SIT workshop, we generated over 140 new product ideas covering six concepts that will address our pipeline needs for the next six to eight years.

“SIT has made a remarkable improvement in the original TRIZ process – by overall simplification, by introducing new and more effective heuristics and by organizing the process. SIT made a unique impact when it reduced the forty-plus problem solving tricks of TRIZ to four techniques. This was the first indication that codified problem solving may not have to be an open-ended process. SIT makes problem analysis time efficient, gives the analyst provocative perspectives, and provides effective solution techniques. Its simplicity and logical flow enable a technologist to memorize the entire process and use it effectively without any supplemental aids such as data bases.“

Dr. Ed Sickafus

Corporate technical specialist , Ford Motor Company Studied a number of problem solving methods before choosing SIT at Ford. Over 800 technologists and scientists at Ford have been trained in the SIT method.

As a local government entity, we have to be good stewards of the limited resources we have. SIT’s principles and tools have allowed us to rethink the way we look at our resources. That new perspective has allowed us to realize our resources aren’t as limited as we thought they were and we were able to use what we already had to solve problems and improve our processes. SIT has showed us that innovation isn’t about just about creating new stuff…it’s about using what you already have in new and better ways.

You might think that SIT is specialized on one specific topic, which isn’t the case – SIT is one of the best companies to help foster people to be creative, and this helps in many situations… SIT helps people think in new ways, exploiting new passes, getting the face out of the steering wheel and coming up with new suggestions how to improve”.

“There are two particular things that hold my attention about the SIT methodology – it is different from everything I have ever seen (and I tend to like different angles), and it is grounded on models and algorithms of thinking, validated academically, and replicable. We no longer have to wait for some spontaneous breakthrough… Innovation can be systematic, planned and depended upon, when we need and where we need it, on demand.”

“We at the time had been the market leader, and our lead had been diminishing over time. The improvements were part of a renaissance and change that helped us reestablish ourselves, and help us put ourselves firmly back on top.”

Greg Stakem

Vice President of R&D, Univation Technologies

“In my 26 years as a senior executive at Xerox and at Eastman Kodak – I have implemented many process changes, strategies and marketing initiatives. The best return on investment I believe, came as a result of engaging SIT.”

In recent years, we have conducted ten projects. These projects resulted in many ideas for new products and services. More than six new products emerged from this work including Privilege Poalim, Maternity Leave From Your Mortgage, Unlinked Fixed Mortgage, Mortgage With Exit Stations, Bridging Loans Prinicpal Deferred and some others. Not only were these ideas implemented, but several of them turned out to be our flagship products and campaign leaders

“What I find most beneficial from SIT’s work with the teams is their non-conventional way of creating an atmosphere to put people at ease. SIT facilitators are always able to generate the confidence, throughout the process, that something valuable will come out in the end. The method creates a different mindset for “activating brains” and makes sure that the participants are able and willing to share ideas that they have”

Jürg Löliger

Scientific Advisor, CT-R&D, Nestec Ltd

Orbotech used the SIT method in a few fields: Technological Problem Solving, NPD, and Service Problem Solving. There are a lot of technological problems that we hadn’t been able to solve using any other method. At Orbotech there are a lot of concrete examples of problem solving that we were able to overcome and that allowed us to sell machines to clients only through the use of the SIT method. SIT allows us to sow fruit very fast and with a high success percentage. Additionally, it is important for me to note that people extremely enjoy working with the SIT tools and the team of facilitators.“

Vice President of Innovation, Orbotech

SIT is not like usual brainstorming; it’s more structured and methodical. It forces you to think outside your fixedness and look at your problem from different perspectives. Applying SIT with a diverse team, following the structure and the rules, helps you find the opportunities that would have traditionally been dismissed. It allows us to ask the right questions, and have more confidence in the ideas that come up. The method complements the other design tools we use for innovation.
